Best Big Venue for Live Music

There's been a couple of infrastructural changes at The Vogue – their exclusive booking agreement with House of Blues, for one – but nothing has really changed inside the building in a hot minute which is a GOOD thing, because the Vogue has been a great place to go see live music for a long, long time. Punk, rock, EDM, folk and indie heavy-hitters take the wide stage regularly, which can be taken in from sweet spots upstairs, downstairs, on the raised middle level and through peek-a-boo spots on the sides. Security is always cool, bartenders are speedy, and that House of Blues contract means the acts on the calendar are even bigger.
